Hello and welcome to the June issue
of the directory.
I am still waiting for my invitation to the Queens
unofficial Birthday Party on June 12th, maybe it
got lost in the post. Oh well, I will carry on
looking for that special hat to wear, and if all else
fails I could wear it to Ladies Day at the Races in
Newmarket on July 7th, so all is not lost!
Anyway, with the Queens Birthday in mind, we have a very
chocolatey birthday cake for our recipe this month on page 44,
even if you are not celebrating at Buckingham Palace, this will go
down a treat with your own family.
We have a very special school holiday club feature on pages 70-75
with just some of the clubs on offer this summer for you to book the
kiddies into if you want to break up the long holiday with a variety
of activities for them to do.
Hope everyone is looking forward to the summer. Enjoy the sunny
weather in June!

New name but same ethos as My WiSH Charity is
launched to support hospital

A charity set up to further enhance the care
and support offered to patients at West
Suffolk Hospital has undergone a rename and
rebrand.
The My WiSH Charity has today been
launched to support fundraising and donations
for every aspect of the Hospital.
Formerly West Suffolk Hospital Charity, the
new-look charity will be run in exactly the
same way and with the same emphasis on
supporting every single donor.
One difference will be the introduction of a
new mascot – Dr Edmund.
r
ndraising Manage
Edmund with Fu
New Mascot Dr
Sue Smith

“We are quite unique compared to many
charities in that we support so many different
areas of health and wellbeing. Funds can
be raised to support the youngest members
of the community to the oldest and our
fundraisers and donors can choose to support
wherever they wish. And we are here to
support that wish.”
Sue admitted the role of a charity supporting
a local hospital was becoming more crucial.
She explained: “The hospital costs £500,000
every day to run - that’s £5 a second. The
Macmillan Unit alone costs £1.5 million a year
to run.
“West Suffolk Hospital will always give you
the best care but by fundraising we can help
to ensure that the equipment and facilities
are the best they can be and help to provide
specialist equipment that make lives easier for
both patients and staff.
“Every single person in our community has
either needed the hospital in their lifetime or
knows someone who has. We are not here
to bridge any gaps, we are here to enhance
the care and support we can offer to the
community.”

Sue Smith, fundraising manager for the My
WiSH Charity, explained: “The support we have
received for West Suffolk Hospital Charity
from our generous local community has been
phenomenal.
“We now feel it was the right time to give the
Charity a facelift and also to give a sense of
ownership to donors as it is their local hospital.
“It might be ‘My Wish’ to support the Hospital’s
Macmillan Unit, or Rainbow Ward or ForgetMe-Not Dementia Campaign.

With the likes of a world record attempt and
It’s a Bury Knockout on the horizon, My WiSH
Charity will continue to organise a number
of events to support the hospital as well as
helping people who want to fundraise every
step of the way.
Sue added: “We have over 90 funds within
the charity supporting not just the main
areas such as Neonatal or the Macmillan Unit
but also the stroke unit, paediatric diabetes,
critical care and orthopaedics to name just
a few. This is the legacy for anyone who
chooses to support My WiSH Charity.”

can help the hospital, please contact fundraising@wsh.nhs.uk or call 01284 712952

Moreton Hall
News...

from Cllr Peter Thompson

After a lengthy application and registration process,
I have managed to secure a community defibrillator
which has now been installed in the Community
Centre. Following last year’s elections, we were
seeking some new projects for our locality funds and
the idea came after my partner, Donna, attended a
first aid course for work. My father had also been ill
with cardiac issues, so it was also a subject close
to my heart (excuse the pun)! We realised that there
wasn’t a defibrillator in the community amenities,
so I approached the community centre to host the
equipment. As our locality money has to be matched
from other sources, the British Heart Foundation
seemed to be the obvious choice for funding, but
when I approached them they agreed to pay for the
full bill. They have been wonderful and I’d like to
publicly thank them for their support in Moreton Hall.
Kerrie Swadling from Moreton Hall
Community Centre pictured with myself
handing over the Difibrillator.

The defibrillator is situated in the foyer of the
community centre opposite the Post Office
entrance. We will move it outside the doors for
greater accessibility overnight once a suitable
cabinet is sourced. Please familiarise yourself with
it’s location on your next visit.

I can confirm that I hold a borough
councillor’s surgery in the community
centre on the first Saturday of each
month between 10am and 12pm. I
can be found in the meeting room at
the back of the building, or if that is
hired out I will be in the side bar of the
clubroom. Please come along with any
issues you may have and Frank and I
will do our best to resolve them.

President Jenny Taylor welcomed
members to our Annual General
Meeting. During the meeting the
Committee members were introduced
and a new President was elected for
the coming year. We also voted on
the two Resolutions proposed for
the National Meeting in Brighton.
Jenny is our delegate. Our speaker
was Lesley Linden, a Triathlon, who
wheeled her cycle in dressed in

Britain at the 2015 Alcobendas ETU
Sprint & Standard Distance Duathlon
European Championships and the
2016 Kalkar ETU Duathlon European

She told us her story, diversifying
from being a school PE Instructor,
volunteering at the 2012 Olympic
Games as a “Games Maker” and
now her current passion. She was
an inspirational speaker and spoke
about the “This Girl Can” nationwide
campaign to get women and girls
moving, regardless of shape, size
and ability. Some of our members
are already cyclists and have signed
up for WOW (Women on Wheels),

Residents Association
On 4th May I attended the inaugural
meeting of The Bury Assembly of
Associations. This was a meeting organised
by the Borough Council to bring together
the local Residents and Community
Associations to discuss common points
of interest and to help each other tackle
problems as a group rather than as a single
entity. It was decided to meet twice yearly,
unless additional meetings were deemed
necessary. The next meeting will be in
October.
The following week I attended the regular
Our Place meeting with our County
Councillors. Most of the meeting was
taken up with a presentation by the new
Operational Highways Officer Mark Stevens
who promises to forge a better relationship
between the SCC and their contractors Keir
with a view to becoming more proactive
and less reactive.
The most efficient way to report pot holes
and pavement defects is via the reporting
tool which can be found on the SCC web
site.
On 13th May I attended a public meeting to
fight against the closure of our Crown Post
Office in Bury and to move it to the second
floor of W.H.Smith. This very well attended
meeting, was wholeheartedly against the
proposed move, and it was agreed to
continue lobbying against this closure.

The Committee are very disappointed
that the two Bury St. Edmunds County
Councillors who are members of the
SCC cabinet voted in favour of the
implementation of Fire Service cuts,
contrary to the overwhelming wishes of
those residents who responded to the
consultation.
We take this opportunity to congratulate
those responsible for giving us a University
for the County. Long may it grow and
prosper.
The next meeting of the Democratic
renewal working party (boundaries and
Parish Council) will take place on Monday
23rd May at 17 00. I hope to attend and will
report to the Committee.
There are several ongoing issues for which
I cannot give you information due to the
need to meet publishing deadlines.

ABBOTS GREEN
Community Primary School
It’s been another fabulous month at
Abbots Green with children across
the school taking part in many more
memorable activities.
Year 4 children had a successful
residential visit to Kingswood,
Norfolk. For the majority this was
the first time that these children had
stayed away from home without
their parents, and that alone was a
huge step. Fortunately the weather
was extremely kind to all for the
duration of the visit and the two
days of activities proved to be both
fun and challenging – resulting in a
lot of sleepy children on the coach
on the way home!
Today our entire Key Stage 2
children (and staff) have arrived at
school dressed as Ancient Greeks
to support the children’s learning as
part of this term’s project - “Faster,
Higher, Stronger.” During the day
the children will be taking part in a
variety of activities including: food

tasting, Greek architecture modelling,
Greek writing and battle-scene
silhouettes.
Early Years children have their parents
in school this morning to work
together on Olympic outdoor activities
including javelin, races and parachute
games and indoor activities of clay
medal making, creating Olympic
bunting and treasure hunts. All
supporting our current project.
The school clubs are in full swing this
term with a range of activities being
offered to children across the school –
including French, Spanish, Hockey, Art,
Craft, Gardening, Choir, Performing
Arts and Knitting! Our Eco-Committee
also undertook a very special mission
with Suffolk Housing and have visited
their new premises on Skyliner Way to

his month found Woodland Ways
pond dipping at various locations
around Moreton Hall. This is a simple
and efficient way of monitoring the wildlife
in a pond, and requires the minimum of
equipment, just a fine net, a shallow tray to
fill with water, and a pencil and paper for
recording your finds.
The ponds around the estate are now at
least ten years old, some two or three
centuries old, and are supporting the
species that are drawn to colonise a pond
of this age. In earlier years, when new, the
pond will have hosted the early arrivals,
species that like bare sediment and no
large predators. As the pond matures,
these species are replaced by others, a
natural process called succession.
Among the commonest finds in a plantrich pond like some on Moreton Hall ours

is the lesser water boatman. This insect
has long, hairy hind legs, like oars, so that
it can effectively swim across the surface
of the water. They can remain under water
for a while by collecting air which they then
carry around as a bubble on their body.
Woodland Ways Pond, just under the
underpass from the end of Lawson Place,
had clear water and plenty of smooth
newts feasting of a myriad of small pond
invertebrates such as the harmless water
fleas. We think that at least fifty newts
were in the pond in May, with eggs found
stuck to underwater leaves. Other ponds,
such as the one in Pond Covert and by
Moreton Hall Pub, contained filthy water
and little aquatic life as a result of many
years of an over-abundance of ducks and
fish, sustained by copious daily amounts of
bread.

Do’s and Don’ts of Proper Suncare

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Preventing sun damage is much more than just a cosmetic
issue – protecting your skin could save your life.
More and more cases of skin cancer are being diagnosed every
day in the UK. Many of those cases might have been avoided,
however, with proper preventive care.
Sunscreen is key, but effective coverage requires more effort
than just slopping some lotion on when you arrive at the beach.
Follow these tips to keep your skin healthy and sunburn-free...
Don’t forget to use sunscreen even
when your day keeps you indoors.
Glass windows protect against sunburncausing UVB rays but don’t stop UVA
rays, which suppress the immune system
and result in wrinkles and brown spots.
Be especially vigilant on days you will be
driving a lot, as UVA rays can also penetrate
car windshields and windows.
Don’t just apply sunscreen to the skin
on your face.
Even if you’re not at the beach or pool, it’s
especially important to apply sunscreen
to your hands, décolletage, forearms, lips,
and ears. These areas also receive sun
exposure and are not only quick to show
signs of aging, they are also vulnerable to
the development of melanomas (cancerous
tumours).
Don’t assume a “water-resistant” or
“waterproof” sunscreen will last longer.
Even these formulas will wear off after 30
minutes or more spent in the water or after
excessive sweating. They can also easily
rub off when you towel-dry after a swim.
Don’t let shade give you a false sense
of security.
You’re not safe from sun exposure in
winter, either: Snow can reflect 80 percent
of the sun’s rays. The sun’s rays can not
only penetrate through umbrellas and
straw shades, they can also bounce off
sand, water, concrete, and other reflective
surfaces.

Don’t panic if you get sunburned.
Most burns can be treated with cool
baths, moisturizers, over-the-counter
hydrocortisone creams, and an
anti-inflammatory, such as aspirin or
ibuprofen. However, if you also have a
headache, chills, or a fever, you JUNE be
suffering from heatstroke as well. Seek
medical help immediately if this is the
case.
Do apply sunscreen (SPF 15 or greater)
every day of the year.
On a grey day up to 80 percent of the
sun’s ultraviolet rays can still pass
through clouds,
Do slather it on before you go
outside.
For maximum effectiveness, sunscreen
needs to be fully absorbed into your skin.
Apply it at least 15 to 30 minutes before
heading outdoors.
Do stay out of the sun in the middle
of the day.
The sun’s rays are at their strongest
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so direct
sun exposure is best avoided during that
time period.
Do wear sun-protective clothing. Several
clothing brands use fabrics that provide
added sun protection. In addition,
lightweight, long-sleeved shirts, pants,
wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses are
also recommended.

DIABETES: a new education service for carers

UK
Diabet
s
Weeke
:

12th 1
June 2 8th
016
DUET diabetes is a local company,
based on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire
border, which was established in 2015.
The partnership of Lynne Reedman
and Helen Stephen was born out of
the desire to provide high quality
diabetes education and training
to those working in care
and residential homes.
Staff in care homes provide an invaluable
service to frail and older people and there
is a great deal of evidence to suggest
that staff may not be equipped with the
necessary knowledge and skills to care
adequately for people with diabetes.
England’s first care home diabetes audit
(carried out by the Institute of Diabetes
for Older People, IDOP) was published
in June 2014. Barbara Young, the former
Chief Executive of Diabetes UK, at the time
said “the findings of this first England-wide
audit of care homes are deeply worrying.”
She also commented “…many people in
care homes do not have regular access
to a healthcare professional and are often
looked after by unqualified carers who,
due to lack of training, may not even have
the basic understanding of diabetes.”
In West Suffolk there are a total of 47 care
homes and the majority will have residents
who have diabetes needing particular
22 | JUNE 2016

care. Unlike the provision of dementia
care, there are no mandatory requirements
for diabetes skills or training. However
towards the end of 2015 the Care Quality
Commission (CQC), who is responsible
for inspecting care homes, published new
“guidance for CQC staff: inspecting the
quality of care for residents with diabetes
mellitus living in care homes”. This
document states what good diabetes care
looks like, with one of the elements being
access to good quality diabetes education
and training for staff.
At DUET diabetes we are passionate
about and dedicated to delivering
understanding, education and training
to empower nurses and carers; enabling
them to make a positive difference to
those living with diabetes.
We recognise that there is an increasing
need for more training options for carers.
At DUET diabetes we believe that quality of
life is paramount regardless of the stage of
life’s journey that a person is at.

Nicola Delglyn
Osteomyologist
Physical & Nutritional Therapy
This is Part 2 of my 2 part series – Soft Tissue/
Sports Injuries. Apart from advising people on
exercise, nutrition and healthy lifestyles, my
time in clinic is used to help people recover
from back pain and soft tissue injuries caused
by taking part in sport “sports injuries” or
everyday activities like gardening, tripping
over or a car accident.
Some regular injuries I see and treat are back
and neck injuries, sprains and strains of legs,
arms, ankles, knee injuries, swollen muscles,
Achilles tendon injuries, pain along the shin bone,
shoulder pain, headaches.
What is a soft tissue injury?
A soft tissue injury is an injury to a muscle,
ligament, tendon or piece of cartilage and
can involve nerves. The injury occurs when a
ligament, tendon or muscle over-stretches in a
way it’s not used to.
A jolt in a car accident or a trip down the stairs
can cause soft tissue damage. Playing sport
or exercising using a poor training technique,
wearing improper gear, bad posture, being out
of condition or not concentrating fully on the
task in hand can also result in soft tissue injuries.
One area that is often forgotten is the important
of warming up or stretching enough before you
play, exercise or take on heavy everyday tasks,
even gardening and housework should require
a warm up of the back and legs to prevent the
onset of a back strain.
Painful and frustrating, soft tissue injuries can
affect just about every aspect of your everyday
life. They can cause headaches, dizziness and

24 | JUNE 2016

Treatments to beat pain for
pain, which can make it difficult to work, to
exercise and to socialise. They can affect such
basic things as sitting down or getting to sleep.
A side effect of such injuries can be feelings of
depression and isolation as people wonder if they
will ever get better.
The good news is that with the correct diagnosis
and treatment, most soft tissue injuries will get
better with time. On average it can take up to 3
months to recover, however it can depend on a
number of factors such as your age, your lifestyle
including your nutrition and hydration, your
general fitness and the type of injury you have
sustained. In general, injuries get better if you get
moving again and return to daily activities as soon
as possible, even with an injured back, you are far
better to gently exercise and stay active than sit
all day.
Remember, as you get better and get moving
again you will have good days and bad days. This
is normal. However, if your injury hasn’t improved
within three months, talk to your doctor or trained
practitioner about the steps you need to take to
get moving again.
What Should I Do if I Get Injured?
When an injury happens, you need to be
prepared to act quickly. I am usually equipped
with a well-stocked physio/first aid bag, but if
you’ve not got the luxury, make sure you have an
ice spray, instant ice pack or bag of peas in the
house. The primary goal of soft-tissue/“sports”
first aid is to stop activity and prevent further
damage. Most injuries will require immediate
treatment and the sooner treatment is given the

Never try to “work through” the pain of a soft
tissue injury. Stop playing, exercising or working
when you feel pain, carrying on will only cause
more harm. When soft tissue is damaged, it will
immediately begin the healing process, so you
might see swelling, bruising and feel pain, there
may also be loss of movement which limits the
muscles.

• Ice - applying cold therapy (ice pack/packet of
peas in a thin damp towel) to an acute injury
reduces swelling and pain. Apply cold to the
affected area every two hours for no more
than 20 minutes at a time. Allow the skin
temperature to return to normal before icing
again. You can ice an acute injury several times
a day for up to three days

Please note: If you have an open wound, notice
any deformity in the joint or bone, the joint
doesn’t feel “normal” or feels unstable, you lose
consciousness, you feel any numbness, severe
pain, an old injury hurts, aches or swells you
should seek medical advice as soon as possible.

• Compression - put even pressure
(compression) on the injured area to help
reduce swelling. You can use an elastic wrap,
special boot, air cast or splint. Personally I use
kinesio tape in clinic (the bright coloured tape
seen applied to athletes on the TV)

If you don’t have any of these signs, chances
are it may be safe to treat the injury at home.
If the pain or other symptoms get worse, you
should call your doctor. I advise my patients,
whilst they are waiting to visit me in clinic, to use
the PRICE (Prevention, Rest, Ice, Compression,
and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce
swelling, and promote healing. By following
these four steps right after the injury occurs, and
for at least 48 hours you are giving your body a
great start to self-healing:

• Elevation – put the injured area on a pillow,

swelling

• Protection – stop the activity immediately
and protect the injured part form additional
damage

I personally prefer for my patients to come
into clinic as soon after the initial injury so
that I can fully assess the injury, the cause
and put together a rehabilitation programme
to get them back to activity quickly. A typical
treatment would also include ice-treatment, heat
treatment, gentle mobilization and strapping
techniques to ensure the best possible outcome
and speedy recovery. I also advise them on how
to optimize their recovery by following a specially
designed healing nutrition programme.

• Rest - reduce your regular activities. If you’ve
injured your foot, ankle, or knee, take weight
off of it. A crutch can help. If your right foot
or ankle is injured, use the crutch on the left
side. If your left foot or ankle is injured, use the

Welcome to the 19th hole,
a place for golf tips, reviews
and everything golf related.

Welcome back to the 19th hole, after the
stunning month of May which saw perfect
weather and conditions for golf. As we enter
June we all want more of the same this month.
Throughout May we
have been spoilt by the
standard of golf on view
from both the European
and PGA tour. We
have had the unofficial
5th major The Players
championship on the PGA tour and the European
Tour’s flag ship event the BMW championship at
Wentworth.

I hope some of you took this first opportunity to go
and view some of the best golfers in the world at
the stunning Wentworth Golf Club.
As we get further into the season the viewing just
gets better and better, this month’s offerings from
both tours are listed below.

So if your looking to pick a winner then all you need
to find is... someone who drives it long and straight,
hits precision iron shots every hole and holes their fare
share of putts as well.
MY PICK: Justin Rose

Coaches Corner
We are all wanting to strike each shot solid and hear
that flush sound, if you are not hearing it, don’t panic.
Check the simple things, these checkpoints should
help you find out what’s not quite right.
• How’s my set up?
Simply ask
a friend
or playing
partner, to
check your
alignment. You should perceive parallel lines pointing
just left of your target. (focus mainly on shoulders and
feet)

EUROPEAN TOUR
JUNE 2- 5 Nordea Masters
JUNE 9-12 Lyoness Open
JUNE 16-19 U.S. Open - Oakmont CC
JUNE 23-26 BMW International Open
PGA TOUR
JUNE 2–5
The Memorial Tournament
JUNE 9-12 FedEx St. Jude Classic
JUNE 16–19 U.S. Open - Oakmont CC
JUNE 23–26 Quicken Loans National

Also check your posture, don’t get too bent over with your
head low. Stand taller and athletic to the ball. From this
position your body will move better throughout your swing.

US Open Preview

Can you stand and watch your shots finish? If the answer is
no, then concentrate on transferring your weight onto your
left foot (right handed golfer) and holding that finish.

This is the second major
of the year and another
chance to go down in
golfing history as a major
champion. The US open
at Oakmont Country Club
being this month’s main event, the question is who
will win at this great venue?
Oakmont remains perhaps the most difficult
course in North America, with 210 deep bunkers
(personified by the Church Pews), hard and slick
greens that slope away from the player, and tight
fairways requiring the utmost precision.

• Fine the rhythm
Nothing ruins my timing more than taking the club back too
far and too fast, but this can also work the other way and
be too slow. Find a comfortable pace for your swing, you
should never feel like your swinging at 100% effort. It’s a golf
swing not a hit!
• Hold the finish

If your rhythm is good you will remain balanced until your
ball comes to rest on green again.
I know what you’re thinking, why only three points. However,
alignment, posture and sound rhythm will give you a better
chance of making solid contact.
If you are still struggling with your irons after this, or any
other part of your game then I would be pleased to assist
you in enjoying this game more.

Calling all Landlords and
Tenants Do not get caught out by the new EPC standards
Despite the scope for argument, MEES do not necessarily need
to be a source of confrontation. Both landlord and tenant can
benefit from the regulations where a co-operative approach is
taken. On the one hand, a landlord should be pro-actively
looking to ensure that the asset is protected against the rising
thresholds of energy efficiency, the financial penalties
associated with non-compliance and the reduction in value of
buildings that do not comply with MEES. On the other hand, a
tenant will benefit from reduced outgoings and better efficiency,
while keeping in mind concerns addressed above should they
have the ability to underlet. Existing tenants may therefore wish
to harness a strong relationship with the landlord to achieve the
benefits early compliance can bring.

rom the 1st April 2018 it will be unlawful to grant a
new lease of energy inefficient commercial or domestic
properties in England and Wales. The new
regulations, which have no impact on sales, set out
minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) and in essence
make it unlawful to grant a new lease of a property that has
an energy performance rating of below E.

Fundamentally this seems like a landlord problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the legal
obligation to comply, and the penalties of non-compliance fall at
their door. However, the new rules will have ranging implications on
both the grant of a new lease and, in certain cases, under
continuing leases. For new leases the effect is obvious; for continuing
leases the regulations will apply, for example, where a tenant
benefits from a right to underlet. The burden will then fall on the
tenant to ensure the property complies with MEES which could in turn
have serious financial implications on the value of the underletting.
In negotiating new leases, MEES has the potential to be contentious,
as the terms sought by the landlord in a new lease may attempt to
shift the burden of compliance onto the tenant. Explicitly, this could
be in the shape of passing the burden of work required to bring the
property up to the minimum standard, or passing the financial penalties onto the tenant. However, tenants should be wary of more subtle
restrictions on their rights, such as onerous clauses requiring access to

10/05/2016 10:52

While there is still plenty of time before the regulations come
into force, many landlords are quite sensibly assessing the need
for a proactive approach to evaluating and confronting the risk
MEES present. It is also important that tenants are fully aware
of these approaching restrictions, and the implications it could
have on their new or existing lease. Only
then can both parties make an informed
decision and reap the benefits from such
awareness in commercial negotiations.

Notification of Forthcoming Roadworks and
Road Closures in Mount Road and Lady Miriam
Way, Great Barton/Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
Taylor Wimpey East Anglia will
shortly be undertaking works in
Mount Road (to the east of Lady
Miriam Way) and Lady Miriam
Way, Bury St Edmunds to install
new highway drainage, a new
footpath/cycleway, carriageway
surfacing and traffic calming
measures as part of their Lark
Grange development.
The works will necessitate the use of
temporary traffic signals as well as two
overnight road closures to ensure that
they are carried out in accordance with
current health and safety guidelines.
The temporary traffic signals will be
manually controlled at peak times to
minimise congestion and when the road
closures are in place a diversion route
will be signposted.
At present, the anticipated
commencement date for the works
is Monday 13 June 2016, with the
anticipated period of works in Mount
Road being seven weeks and those
in Lady Miriam Way being a further
six weeks (including Saturdays and
Sundays). This works period is subject
to favourable weather conditions and
what is found once works commence.
At present, it is intended that the
overnight road closures (on Mount

Road only) will be on 1, 2 and 3 July as
well as 29, 30 and 31 July, albeit these
dates will also be dependent upon the
successful completion of the preceding
works. The final element of the works,
which will include the installation of a
new footpath/cycleway in Lady Miriam
Way, is currently scheduled to start on
1 August and should be completed by
9 September. These latter works will
be carried out using temporary traffic
signals.
During the works, access to properties
will be available but controlled by staff
on site. Access for emergency services
will be maintained at all times. Advance
roadworks notification boards will also
be erected.
Inconvenience and disruption will be
kept to a minimum during the works.

’ve taken on my fair
share of DIY projects,
some more successful
than others – but no major
calamities… yet! However,
since I impulse bought a
few days ago, literally ‘a
lorry load’ of materials for
my latest venture, I have to
admit I am now getting a bit
apprehensive.
It all started when I came in
from the garage the other
day and declared it was a
shocking waste of space, full
of junk and stuff not seen
or used in years. This lead
onto the discussion of how
it could be a great extra play
area. I had a vision of the
kids bringing mates home, to
hang out and listen to tapes,
play on the mega drive, drink
alcopops, or whatever it is
teenagers do nowadays –
admittedly I’m a little bit out
of touch?!
The more I thought about
it, the better it sounded.

me. While all her friends were
at the playground or curve
motion, she was down the
tip or on a reconnaissance
expedition at screwfix. What a
lucky girl.

Well, that was it. A
masterplan had materialised
and needed to be actioned
immediately. Sure, my eldest
is only 8, but time flies,
and accounting for a few
inevitable delays (industrial
disputes, Great crested
newts, trips to A&E etc…) I
reckoned I might as well get
started right away.

As I speak my Gantt chart
and lists are dynamic and
changing hourly. The initial,
and hopefully worst, stages
are nearing completion. Only
time will tell, but I remain
optimistic. Who knows, if I
complete this before 2022 I
can set up a 360o projector tv
and watch the Qatar World
Cup in all its bizarre glory, or
maybe install a 12ft snooker
table?

As with all these things, the
key to efficient delivery is in
fastidious preparation. That
is to say, several evenings
spent hogging the iPad,
staring at storage solutions,
flooring, chipboard, screws,
light bulbs… and basically all
the really interesting stuff.
This ran parallel with daytime
activities, clearing the garage
- a mammoth task. Luckily
I had a 2 year old to ‘help’

I mean, if they can build a
brand new high school, from
foundations up, in 10 months,
then I should be able to
do this in a few years? Oh
wait, they couldn’t actually
build it on time could they?
If only they had my project
management skills… and
maybe an enthusiastic toddler
to help.

So you want to avoid empty borders
filling with weeds. One plant you
could consider is London Pride
which once established can form a
dense carpet. They are easy to grow
in any type of soil but are ideal for
deep or partial shaded borders.
You can easily increase your stock
of these plants by digging up a few
each year in spring or early summer
and placing in an empty border.
There is very little work involved in
maintaining them. If you wish cut off
the flowers when they have died.
London Pride is a member of the
saxifraga family of perennials and is
also known as none so pretty. Small
pink-flushed white flowers form
around early summer to a height of
30cm. The glossy green leaves are
evergreen.

This months poem...

“Tell you what I like the best -- ‘Long about knee-deep in June,
‘Bout the time strawberries melts. On the vine, -- some afternoon
Like to jes’ git out and rest, And not work at nothin’ else!”
- James Witcomb Riley, Knee Deep in June

Genus Vehicle Solutions are celebrating 15 years in business since it
was started by Alan Beckett & Tony Davis in 2001. After working in the
motor trade for many years they decided to go out on their own and
set up Genus as an alternative to main dealers, supplying all makes
and models of vehicles to business and personal customers alike,
specialising in leasing
After Genus were runner up in East
Anglian Start-Up Business of the Year in
2003, they expanded, also taking on new
staff. When the recession hit in 2008, they
had to re-focus and streamline to survive
like many other businesses. “This only
made us stronger and focus on Customer
Service” said Alan “when we came out of
recession we had a great customer base
to continue to build on.”
Genus, as an independent company, have
adapted throughout the years in an ever
changing market place but continue to
offer their customers free impartial advice
and the most competitive leasing deals on
a range of vehicles.
Leasing companies are now offering
deals to private individuals that were
previously only available to businesses,
this is due to the new financial guidelines
overseeing the motor industry by the
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
With this change Genus continue to
spread the word to the public that new

cars can be a lot more affordable than
some JUNE think with the low monthly
payments. Leasing also removes the risk
of depreciation and disposal worries for
the customer.
“Over the last 2 years we have seen a
massive increase in personal leasing and
to deal with this extra business we have
strengthened our sales team with Peter
Barker and our administration team with
Jessica Ellis” commented Tony.
To mark this 15 year milestone Genus are
offering a chance for one lucky person
to win a track day experience. They were
recently at the Arc Shopping Centre in
Bury St Edmunds, where they showcased
a number of cars and deals available
while answering questions about leasing
a new car. They will be at the Bury Motor
Show at Nowton Park in June and again
at Classic & Sports Cars by the Lake in
September. So there is still time to get
your name in, or you can enter online
at www.genusleasing.com/track-daycompetition.

the crafty foxes

The other weekend my mum and I
decided to go to a nest ring making
workshop that was held upstairs in
Denny Bros by ‘The Crafty Foxes’. My
mum saw it on Facebook and signed us up. We went and
Michelle (the lady who runs it) showed us how to make
the piece of jewellery – she made it look really easy! Only
a certain amount of people could go, depending on how
complexed it is depends how many people Michelle allows.
Me and my mum went and had a really great time, we had
lots of fun making the nest rings. Although it was hard (and
a bit frustrating at times!) it was also really enjoyable and
we giggled lots! We found that working together helped us
to make 2 lovely nest rings each. We had previously been
to another workshop where we made a pair of earrings and
a necklace together. So if you like being creative and being
able to make something a little different, keep a look out for
‘The Crafty Foxes’ workshops.

oreo milkshakes
Occasionally when I’ve
been to town, I’ve been
lucky enough to have a
Starbucks milkshake which
are really delicious. I don’t
always have enough pocket
money to buy one so I came
home one day and decided
to try and make my own
milkshake like those at
Starbucks! They are much
cheaper and fun to make
and decorate. What you
will need is: 7-8 Oreos, 1
cup of milk, 1 cup of ice and
whipped cream. Firstly you

66 | JUNE 2015

need to get your blender out
and blitz the ice so that you
don’t have big chunks (that is
optional depending how you
like your ice). Secondly you
need to add your milk and
your Oreos (but leave two on
the side) and blend that until
you think it is done. Once you
have completed that pour it
in a cup. Add your whipped
cream and then on top of
that break the Oreos you put
to one side and plop them on
top, and ta-da you have your
very own Starbucks!

geocaching

All the time me and my family
go on bike rides out and about
to Thurston and other places.
Someone told my mum about
this thing called ‘Geocaching’,
it is basically where you use an
App that gives you co-ordinates
to bike to. Once you get to the
navigated place you hunt high
and low around that area looking
for a little box. In that little box
there should be a few little toys
and a logbook, you can take a
toy but you have to put one back
in for another person to have.
You can also write in the logbook
detailing your geocaching name
and date. My family and I tried it
the other day and it was a good
adventure. It gives you more
than just a bike ride, it makes like
a little treasure hunt!

Just the other day I found myself sitting on a swing in the park, leisurely enjoying
the company of one of my best friends while my 4 year old sat playing the train
driver on an imaginary trip to the beach and my 8 month old baby boy giggled
joyfully at being pushed on the swing for his very first time. Forwards and
backwards I stretched my legs as I rose higher and higher up into the air. The
sun was shining brightly and the chilly spring breeze brushed across my cheeks.
I smiled and my baby was smiling too. One adult, one baby; both enjoying the
simple, playful act of swinging through the air on a bright, spring morning.
‘Play’ seems to be the current hot
topic for our society’s children; the
heated debate of whether or not our
education system is robbing children
of their childhood and play is one you
cannot help but be party to. Whatever
your opinion, I’m sure we can all agree,
play is a vital ingredient to the life of
any healthy, happy children we know
or would like to raise. But what about
in the life of any healthy, happy adults
we know or would like to become?
There are some fabulous and
inspiring quotes out there from some
of history’s greats. Each in its own
way emphasising the importance of
adopting a ‘play-full’ lifestyle in order to
experience the fullness life has to offer.
Here are some of my favourites “Life is a game, play it” - Mother Teresa
68 | JUNE 2016

“Play is the highest form of research” Albert Einstein
“Life must be lived as play” - Plato
“It is a happy talent to know how to
play” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“You can discover more about a person
in an hour of play, than in a year of
conversation” - Plato
“We don’t stop playing because we
grow old, we grow old because we
stop playing” - George Bernard Shaw
Through the wealth of their
experiences they clearly discovered
the great worth of being playful
throughout life. So why is it as
adults we shy away from playing,
deciding ‘play’ is simply for children
and not for grown ups? We’ve
become an adult generation, many

secret is to our cool, calm and collected
(most of the time) life. Of course
there are a number of things which
contribute but one of the essentials is
most definitely play. Together we are
committed to having a play-full life; with
play comes joy, and joy is like an inner
strength which undergirds you when
carrying the weight of work, stress and
responsibilities.

Play features boldly in our household,
not just for the benefit of the children
but for the benefit of my husband
and I too. We laugh often, make each
other jump, have races up the street
and do silly dances to funky music
cranked up really loud. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The summer holidays can
seem long and, although they

can be a lot of fun, for some parents
it can cause an element of stress
thinking about what to do every
day! Whether it is because you are
working and need to find things to
amuse the children whilst you earn
the money to pay for them, you
have busy and active children or you
just need a few days to yourself to
get everything else you need to do
done, I thought I would collate some
information to help you find some
fun things to do to keep your small
people happy and yourselves sane!!
I like to ensure my children have
a good variety of activities during
the holidays, so I hope you find the
options on the following pages useful
this summer....

If you’ve ever been to camp, you’ll know that
having a go at new adventure activities such

MER HOLIDAYS!
DEVELOPING EMOTIONAL AND
SOCIAL SKILLS

At camp, children learn to be away from familiar
environments such as home or school, meeting new
people and have the opportunity to make decisions
about their day, their independence and resilience
develops day after day.

UNPLUG FROM TECHNOLOGY

It is really difficult to navigate a climbing wall with an
ipad in your hand so, at camp, there is usually a ‘leave
it at home’ mantra! Rediscover the great outdoors, be
creative and get lots of fresh air.

TRYING NEW THINGS

MENTAL STIMULATION AND
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Many activities have a problem solving or team-building
element to them, so not only are they physically active,
they’re also cognitively active!

INDEPENDENCE & EMPOWERMENT

Children given the opportunity to do something on their
own, gives them great empowerment. Daily passports
used to record their camp experience are very often used
for school show and tells, which gives each child a great
ownership pf their experiences.

CONFIDENCE REINFORCED THROUGH
SUCCESS

Activity camps offer just that, lots of activities children can find hobbies and interests outside of
the norm from archery to climbing and bush craft to
kayaking!

Achieving something new at camp makes children feel good,
reinforced by awards for effort and achievement allow a
child’s confidence to develop.

FRIENDSHIP AND BUILDING
RESILIENCE

Children sleep well after a day at camp, what’s more; they fit
perfectly around work, with early drop off, late pick up and
lunch included; spending the day at camp takes the stress
out of the summer holidays!

Being at camp means that children have the
opportunity to make friends with others that
they may not meet otherwise. Not only that, by
participating in different activities throughout the
day, these friendships are bonded through shared
experiences.

HAPPY PARENTS

Pathway to Golf

Bury St Edmunds Golf Club understand that
many people aspire to start (or restart) golf, but
the process can seem daunting and expensive.
They’ve created a programme designed around
the stage you’re at, with easy progression, and in
small groups to keep the costs low.
After a free 15 minute assessment you will be
invited to join one of the following programmes:

BEGINNER

INTERMEDIATE

• coaching in small groups (4+)
• covers basics of the swing,
chipping and putting
• includes loan of equipment
• assessment for further
progression

The 9-hole course is open to the public on a pay-and-play. Frequent players can pay
£65/month for unlimited golf, with no contract term.
For those keen to join the Club, they have now introduced a scheme to pay the joining
fee over 5 years and you can become a golf and social member for the equivalent of just:

MORETON HALL
June 2016 will be one of the
most important months in the
history of the United Kingdom.
While we celebrate the 90th
birthday of our wonderful
Queen, we also have a decision
to make at the referendum.
Whether we vote to leave the
European Union or to remain in
it, life in this country will change.
Because we are not just deciding
whether or not we would be
better off economically or
politically on our own, we are
deciding something far more
fundamental than that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the
nature of Britain itself.
Does the group of islands which
makes up the British archipelago
contain a separate and distinct
group of peoples who, while
they are geographically close to
Europe, are in fact a completely
different from their neighbours?
Or are we part of a much
larger group of people who call
themselves Europeans?
When we refer to ourselves as
British we also mean English,
Scottish, Welsh or Irish. The
same idea lies behind the
concept of being European. We
all know there are Germans,
French, Poles, Italians, Spanish,
Portuguese and British, but
somehow they are all together
as Europeans as well. What we
decide in June will fix, probably
for at least another hundred
years, the nature of the British
people. Are we separate and
distinct and very different from
those who live near us, or are
we part of a much larger family,
each with its own important
history but nonetheless united
by economic, political, social and
historical ties?
There is not time to repeat all
the different arguments which
have been thrown about at
the moment, but I do note a
82 | JUNE 2016

disturbing aspect of the debate.
As it progresses it is becoming
more vitriolic, bitter and divisive.
My prayer is that whatever the
outcome of the vote, it will be
decided by a large majority one
way or the other. If vote to stay
or go and it is close, it will lead to
a great deal of recrimination on
both sides. Was one side better
funded than the other? Did
one side tell the truth while the
other lied? Although the British
experiment of bringing together
four different people groups
and making one whole nation
has been largely successful, we
do have a capacity for arguing
amongst ourselves in such a way
as to jeopardise all that we have.
I hope that, having made our
decision, we will all agree to
abide by it and put the result,
whichever way it goes, behind
us. I also hope that whatever the
decision may be, it is not only
best for this generation but for
all the generations that follow us.
An impoverished, embittered
and disenfranchised Britain will
not be a good neighbour to
anyone whether she remains
within or without the European
Union.
However, having said this was
one of the most important
decisions this country will make
in all its long history, there is
another decision which is even
more important which stands
at everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elbow. That is
the decision about God himself.
I know many of you who read
this column, although you are
not church-goers; do have a
sense of and a faith in God. You
may not know Him very well,
but you know that He is there
and you know that He acts in
your life. Somehow you never
quite get round to following up
on what you know to be true.

In the way that the referendum
gives us an opportunity to finally
make up our minds, there never
seems to be a referendum on God
for us as individuals. What do
we believe? And if we do believe
something, what are we going to
do about it? The decision whether
or not to follow God not only has
consequences for this life here on
earth, but also for eternity.
If we follow Him now, not only do
we get to know Him better and
His family of believers, but also we
become aware of His presence in
every part of our life, changing,
correcting, helping and improving.
But more than that, the decision
you make will have a great deal of
bearing on your final destination.
In the past God has clearly guided
this country, maybe if we ask him
he will guide this country again as
we decide on all our futures in the
referendum.
I have just come back from Israel,
which is a country dominated by
three very different religions, and
a country that has torn itself apart
throughout its history because of its
peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to be reconciled
and work together. This has ruined
what is a very beautiful country, full
of historic buildings, and wonderful
places.
So this month of June, please take
time to pray and to vote, because
you must not be indifferent to the
decision that will affect the lives
of everybody on this island and its
children for generations to come.
But equally, do not be indifferent to
the call of God upon your life and
take the opportunity to find out
more about Him and if possible to
follow Him yourself.

With every good wish,
Yours sincerely,

Revd. Canon Jonathan Ford.
Minister Christ Church Moreton Hall

CHURCH NEWS

Christian Aid Week

JUNESERVIC
OUR JUNE

Once again I take this opportunity to thank
the Moreton Hall estate for its generous
support of Christian Aid week. Thank
you for giving everyone who called at
your house with a red envelope such a
warm welcome. Christ Church, Moreton
Hall, does not collect the entire estate,
some of it is collected by other churches
in the town, and so what we collect only
represented part of the total giving that
goes on here. At the time of writing, we
do not have the figures, it is 20th May
and the week has not finished yet, but as
soon as I have them I will let you know.
And, of course, a special thank you goes
to all those people who worked so hard
organising teams in Bury St. Edmunds and
across Moreton Hall. To all the volunteers
who deliver and collect envelopes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thank
you all for your hard work and for the
thousands of pounds that you raise and for
the many lives you save and improve.

Air Crash in Mediterranean

comforted and supported in their loss.

This is a very sobering event for me
and the fourteen people who flew
with me from Israel to London within
a few hours of this incident. While we
were not on the same route, or airline,
we have been reminded so clearly
of the importance of all the security
measures we had to pass through both
ways. While it was very frustrating to
stand in long queues being checked,
the reason for it is now very clear.

Holland March (Ryan Gosling) is a down-onhis-luck private eye barely scraping a living in
1970s Los Angeles. Jackson Healey (Russell
Crowe) is a tough guy enforcer who thinks
with his fists. When these two polar opposites
are unexpectedly thrown together in the
search for a missing girl, a darkly hilarious and
fast-moving mystery unfolds as they plunge
ever further into the city’s seedy, neoninflected underbelly.
Lethal Weapon writer Shane Black returns to the territory of his critically acclaimed
directorial debut Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with this snappy and irreverent buddy comedy,
one that brings the 1970s roaring back to life in all its flare-trousered glory. Gladiator’s
Russell Crowe and Drive’s Ryan Gosling make for unexpectedly hilarious partners in
crime whilst the supporting cast includes Oscar winner Kim Basinger.

A young woman falls in love with the man
she’s caring for in this swooning romantic
weepie.
Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke) is an
unambitious, recently unemployed young
woman looking for a change in her life.
And that’s exactly what she gets when
she agrees to become a companion for
handsome William Traynor (Sam Claflin),
whose promising career was tragically
cut short when he was paralysed in a
devastating accident. Although their
relationship is at first tentative and spiky,
a tender romance soon develops with
William ultimately teaching Louisa the
importance of getting the most out of
life. Based on the bestselling book by Jojo
Moyes, this life-affirming romantic drama
blends laughs and more than a few tears
with an attractive young cast led by the
stars of Game of Thrones and The Hunger
Games. Lending additional gravitas are
British thesps Janet McTeer and fellow
Game of Thrones alumnus Charles Dance
as William’s parents.
